DACO Plein Air Invitational
2026 DACO Plein Air Invitational
An Evening of Art, Wine & Giving
Tuesday, September 15, 2026
6:00–8:00 p.m.
Rhonemus Cellars | Lancaster, Ohio
Join the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio and Rhonemus Cellars for a special evening celebrating art, wine, and the beauty of the Ohio landscape—all in support of DACO’s outreach arts programming. Throughout the afternoon, plein air artists will spread out across the picturesque vineyards of Rhonemus Cellars, capturing the landscape as they see it in the moment.
When guests arrive, you’ll have the opportunity to stroll through the vineyard, meet the artists, and watch as their paintings take shape. As the evening continues, enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar featuring wines from Rhonemus Cellars. The artists will then return with their completed works, which will be available for purchase that evening.
Participating artists will generously contribute a significant portion of the proceeds from each artwork sold to support DACO’s outreach arts programming. It is an opportunity to experience the creative process firsthand, discover an original work of art, and help extend meaningful arts experiences beyond the walls of the museum.
